Okay, which JC'er is this?

Backstory is apparently a pax was in the forward lav when the crew left the aircraft. The pax opened the door to the lav, which shut the cockpit door.

So how did he open the window from the outside to gain access?

Let’s not question how he paid for his 737 type rating in the early 2000’s. B&E actually is kind of a skilled job set.

That's pretty good. Only better answer I can imagine is someone's child/helper monkey inadvertently locked themselves in.

Or someone was trying to hack the ACARS block times, but it went wrong.

The 737 has an emergency service access panel to open the FO side window from the exterior.

Must be horrible to talk about it failing into a secured position.

That said, a quick Google search reveals all the "secrets." YouTube videos included.

Yes, the internet is full of things that shouldn't be there. No doubt. However, I was expecting to see, and not at all shocked when it happened that a pilot at an airline would get into details of "This could only happen when the henweight & fetzer valves were both open, if Mr. Fusion was depleted thus leaving the coffee maker hot bus offline and voila...."

Fun fact, if you can get into the cargo bay of a 350, you can access the E&E compartment and the server racks. There's then a ladder leading up to a hatch behind the captains seat.

Also fun fact... the EE compartment is a great place to set up a hammock and take a nap on a long sit... hypothetically.

Until you have a whoopsie and then make the airplane go bad. I love that story.

Did you see Rat down there? Or Cappy?

Without knowing the story, my takeaway is do something so stupid that no one has done it before. So they have to create a rule about doing the stupid thing after you’ve caused the incident.

That's a pretty fair assessment in general.

This specific story didn't result in a change of policy though because what happened was so basic common sense (on multiple levels) that it really shouldn't happen again.

Story for over beverages if you end up out on hnl ever or at an NJC.
